iPhone 7/7+ iOS 10 app close animation

I know this isn't a true solution, but I'm so happy I always use my phone with Reduce Motion on.
What's funny is I disabled Reduce Motion to use animations when iOS 10 was released on my 6s. The animations were so smooth and quick, I decided to use the stock animations.
Then I got a 7+.....
Reduce Motion back in the mix!
can't believe 5 betas and still 7 plus with 3GB ram and fasted phone, is choppy as hell shutting apps and app switcher, I'm sick of talking about it but its driving me mad, why does dam apple not fix it, can't be that hard and no for the last time its not a feature it happens sometimes, this 7 plus is a joke wish I never got it, every beta I think will be fixed and nothing what the hell has changed apart from one dam feature portrait mode, I wish I could speak to Tim Cook and say what the F
How am I supposed to "get" this stutter?I closed an app in the app switcher and there wasn't any stutter whatsoever
You're phone is special. All the people having animations issues have broke phones
It's when exiting an app and going to the home screen. There's some frames dropped and so it looks choppy instead of smooth (like the opening animation).
Yes, the closing animation should be the exact opposite of the opening animation, but it doesn't. It has this weird acceleration to it and the wallpaper zooming out lags a bit after the icons have finished flying in.
The animation should be one smooth motion and everything should stop animating at the same exact time, but it just doesn't do that.
comparing 10.0.3 and 10.1 beta 5, are there substantial improvements in the choppiness?
Hard to say. Maybe a little smoother. Still some frames missing.
Most improvement overall: deactivate the 3-click-gestures. But this only affects the lag.
iPhones come with 3 click gestures disabled so this advice to disable them baffles me. Mine have always been off.
I know, I have the same issue. It's like this new home button in the 7 and 7 Plus has been poorly coded with iOS. Why on earth does turning off triple click make my 7 Plus run wonkers?
It's not the button. Same **** happens when using software to close the app. It has been already covered in this thread. I used my friends 6 today. No lag there whatsoever
Strange thing is. Using the software button on any other iOS device uses the old animation still, not the new 7/7+ animation. I think it's a feature, but I think they need to fine-tune it a bit.
I bet we'll see a lot of improvements in 10.2.
Basically 10.1 is only about the new portrait feature.
Updated to 10.1 and it appears the app close animation has been improved but I wouldn't say it's been completely fixed but good enough for me to turn off reduce motion.
The app close animation looks slightly different now as it starts off slow then speeds up which I don't like. It should just be the same as the app opening animation. They've obviously looked into it but not sure why they didn't just completely fix it instead of this half assed attempt. Also scrolling through the multiasking app cards is still laggy.
Comparing the 7 app close animation to a 6s which is also on 10.1 the 6s is perfect with smoother scrolling through the multitasking app cards. :-(
